Usterud Continues to Build, Katz Out But Back In

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action was joined as Cary Katz moved all in for 162,000, which was roughly the size of the pot, on a 378 flop. Stian Usterud gave it some thought before making the call.

Cary Katz: JJ1010 All in
Stian Usterud: AKK2

The 10 turn saw Katz jump into the lead with top set, but the K river improved Usterud to a better set, sending Katz to the rail. It was only a temporary trip to the sidelines for Katz, though, as he immediately bought back into the tournament.
